Things That Matter. Things That Don'T. Poem by Alice Alyve

Things That Matter. Things That Don'T.

Rating: 4.5


Rhyme, rhythm, meter.
I don’t know what that means.

I know words.
Feelings.
Taste.
Touch.
Love.

I know the river at sunrise.
And the smell of pepper.

Things that matter.

Things that don’t.

I enjoyed this poem, Alice. Of course, I think the hard core poetry critics would say that, in your world, prose matters but poetry doesn't. I am not one of them. A treat! Best to you, Matt
